Geralynn is a unique, feminine given name of American origin. It combines the elements 'Ger' and '-lynn', with 'Ger' being derived from the Old German masculine name Gerhard, which means 'strong in speech or brave spear'. The suffix '-lynn' is often associated with names like Lynn or April, suggesting a connection to springtime or the month of April. However, Geralynn does not directly reference any seasonal or lunar influences. Instead, it stands alone as a distinctive name choice, likely created for its appealing sound and rhythmic flow. The name Geralynn has gained some popularity in the United States but remains relatively uncommon elsewhere.
"Geralynn peaked in popularity during the mid-1950s to early 1960s with over 20 births per year between 1953 and 1964. After that, its usage declined significantly, with fewer than 13 births per year from 1965 onwards."
